One bit of feedback from me, take it or leave it, but the name doesn't feel appealing or memorable. What does it mean?
- vintagedave 8mo agoIt makes me think of the Uruk-hai from Lord of the Rings. To me that is not a positive connotation. I feel bad writing anything even slightly negative about what is a really, really awesome project, though, and I hope that you meet with success :)
- BrunoBernardino 8mo agoThanks for the kind words! They might not be "standard pretty" but I'd say they're arguably resilient and disciplined, so it's not all bad! :D

- BrunoBernardino 8mo agoThanks! We'll happily take suggestions, but I read it like "Euro-key". My wife also doesn't love the name, but we couldn't come up with (or find) anything with 5 letters or less that sounded decent so far. There's no specific meaning, though I can't say I dislike the close name matches with Uruk-hai [1] and Uruk [2]! :) [1]: https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Uruk-hai https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Uruk-hai [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruk
- esperent 8mo agoI was going to say in my earlier comment that I probably didn't like it because it sounds like Uruk Hai, and the person in the comment below also said it. So safe to.say that's what most of your users will also think of. "Large ugly orc" is a terrible word association for an app even if you personally like it. Have you tried searching for meaningful words in other languages? Kagi means key in Japanese, for example. I've had luck with this approach before.
- BrunoBernardino 8mo agoThanks for the suggestion. We did try but came up empty so far. I also didn't know that about Kagi!
